A condensed, heavy sans with pronounced vertical emphasis and compact proportions. Strokes are thick overall with noticeable contrast between dominant vertical stems and thinner joins or cross-strokes, giving many forms a slightly chiseled, ink-trap-like feel in tight corners. Curves are built from broad, rounded bowls and squared-off shoulders, and terminals tend to finish bluntly with subtle rounding rather than sharp points. The lowercase shows a tall, sturdy silhouette with small counters, while figures are similarly compact and robust, staying consistent in width and weight across the set.
Best suited to large-size applications such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage where condensed width and heavy color can maximize impact. It can also work for short subheads or callouts in editorial layouts, but the dense counters and strong contrast suggest keeping longer text blocks to larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-display flavor that reads as confident and attention-grabbing. Its condensed rhythm and strong verticals evoke signage and headline typography where impact matters more than delicacy, producing an energetic, slightly industrial voice.
The design appears intended as an impactful condensed display sans that combines sturdy geometry with subtle stroke modulation for texture. It prioritizes strong vertical presence, compact width, and a distinctive dark rhythm that remains recognizable in both single words and headline lines.
Several glyphs feature narrowed apertures and tight interior spaces, which increases density and creates strong dark texture in text. The design favors clear, simplified construction and consistent stroke endings, helping it hold together as a unified display style across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
